Trivia | - Artie Simek would get the lousiest credits in each issue. For example in Journey Into Mystery #121 the credits read: "Another towering triumph for Stan Lee, Writer [...] Another day, another dollar, for Artie Simek, letterer." In Tales of Suspense #58, the credits read "Lettering of Breath-taking Adequacy by: Art Simek". Another time, his name was largest in the credits, with the explanation that "this was cheaper than giving him a raise." Though this might seem unfair to current comic book readers, letterers seldom, if ever, received credit for their work before Stan Lee instituted this as a policy at Marvel in late 1962. . He also played the spoons.

Notes | - * The letters page of Fantastic Four #281 credits Art Simek as providing the inks for Fantastic Four #1. Jack Kirby also said that Artie Simek had inked that issue. Though Simek lettered this ground-breaking issue, there is no clear evidence that he ever did any inking in the comics field. Several comic historians doubt the plausibility of this attribution, as Kirby had a notoriously bad memory. The current consensus is that George Klein was the inker, perhaps assisted by Christopher Rule .
* Sometimes, perhaps mistakenly, credited as "Arty" Simek.
